They go to 'retreat' from their everyday life and things. it often means a place with great natural beauty and solitude. They often immerse themselves in something like silence, prayer, meditation, or conversations with certain healing people. They often participate in arts, like dance, painting, working with clay. They spend a lot of time reflecting on their life and where it is heading, helping them make decisions later when they go back to everyday life.
